You will need to use the DIA SDK. Microsoft does not have a managed interface for it, but using DIA in C# has been asked on StackOverflow before.
If you are going to try it out in native first you can get the information in question by getting the
IDiaSymbolinstance for the PDB in question, this is called the ‘global scope’. Once you have that you will callfindChildren()passing it theSymTagFunctionenumeration which of typeSymTagEnum. You will then need to enumerate over them and use anIDiaSession, previously made to get the globalIDiaSymbol, instance to find the correct source and line number.
